Pictures that give a glimpse into our life with autism. Pictures that may show how distinctly different our lives are from yours because of autism. Or pictures that may show how similar our lives are regardless of autism.

They make us laugh and cry. They motivate us to be better people and to leave the world a better place. They are amazing.
